About

Need Some Luck is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Peter Snowden at Randwick. He is by Rubick out of Lovely Jubly. As a stakes winner who has earned $552,095, he is viewed as an above‑average racehorse. On 8 November 2025 at Flemington, with Jamie Melham aboard, he notched his biggest triumph by winning the $200,000 Open Handicap, defeating De Bergerac. Throughout his career he has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him from the start would have delivered a 63% return on investment.
